We enjoyed our wine tour of the Pilliteri Estates. It seemed that as we came as a private tour with Niagara Vintage Wine Tours and our tour sommelier and the Pilliteri staff doing our tour (Rob) knew each other personally, we got a behind the scenes tour. We toured the estate, the underground cellars with the wine barrels 20ft below (my favourite part), the massive grape press machinery, the architecture of the new buildings, the appasamento (sp) style of wine making unique to this particular wine estate and the marketing and packaging of their wines which they export globally. We also got a history of the Pilliteri family and how 3 generations of the family still actively work within this winery business today. I loved that in the wine tasting within their beautifully decorated and furnished private tasting room, we got to taste several different wines (not just 3 wines which is the norm in many estate) including their more high end reserve wines and trivilante. Rob kindly offered us waters to drink, as well. This was a fun experience and the only thing I would say is that if the wine tour can be timed with a walk on the fields or seeing the grape press machinery in action or seeing more of the behind the scenes action, it would be fantastic and highly educational.

Rob gave us a great tour of the facility. We were the only people on the tour, so Rob tailored the wines we tasted to us. This winery is rich in family history. Stunning metal artwork throughout. Excellent wines to taste. Really enjoyed the very informative tour and tastes.

Last stop on a private wine tour day and it was the perfect ending. Quick tour of the facility, learned the history of the vineyard and a tasting in a private room. Very enjoyable, highly recommend!

Amazing Winery! Fantastic selection! Special thanks to Indra for all her help. She is very friendly, knowledgeable about the products, and helpful with making the best possible selections. Enables a great shopping experience. This will bring me back to Pillitteri Wineries on my next trip to Canada!

Fantastic experience at Pillitteri winery!! My friend is a wine club member and gets 6 tour/tastings a year, so she took us for a free tour! Jacob was our guide and he is TOP NOTCH! Friendly, very knowledgeable and fun!! Highly recommended! Lots of delicious wine to taste! Will be back!

The selection of wines here is varied, and always the finest quality. I dealt with Rob, and as usual he gave the best service, pointing out the best deals of the day. I will always include Pillitterri Estates Winery on my wine tours.

Excellent casual eating. Fresh locally sourced food. Delicious caprese salad . Pizza prepared in an outside wood burning oven. Ice wine with gelato for dessert Olivia provided friendly service. Plenty of staff preparing the meal. Olivia served icing hot. We look forward to being back next summer. The food and service was great. The band provided great entertainment.

In town for our anniversary and decided to take their tour. Amazing experience. Great wine and food. But the highlight was was staff, Justin, McKenna and Conner to name a few. Of course we had to buy some of the wine that met our taste. We will be back

Wines were average but tour was good with some history of the family who started the business. Only issue I felt worth mentioning is kids should not have to pay for the tour, I believe they didn’t mention it on the website. The guy at the cashier was a little rude about it, when I mentioned that the website should at least mention that kids should pay for the tour! Overall the tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. We even bought some ice wines at the end of the tour. The restaurant on site was great bonus too as kids were very hungry at the end of tour!

Stopped in to see what the ‘buzz’ was about. From the parking lot, you can’t see much for all the plantings but then…behind the gate awaits a warm, rustic and inviting space. Under an angled roof or amongst the trees, one dines on fresh salads and made to order pizzas that are so yummy. Our server Leah was excellent and the live music by Matt Taylor further added to our enjoyment. Well done, Mike!
